Chapter 209 Can't sleep

surprise!

Although I don’t know what the surprise my daughter-in-law said was.

I still can't forget it in my heart.

Through the iron door, I could hear the sound of the TV, and my daughter-in-law must be inside.

I took out the key and I actually inserted it several times but couldn't insert it into the keyhole.

Just as I finally calmed down and inserted the key into it, I suddenly heard my daughter-in-law's voice: Dad, you are back Ah.

The iron door was opened from the inside. It must be that the movement I made attracted my daughter-in-law's attention, so she opened the door directly from the inside.

Ah, I'm back.

I pulled out the key from the door lock without any trace and put it in my pocket to hide my embarrassment.

Hurry, change the slippers quickly. The floor I just finished mopping, don’t step in and get dirty.

My daughter-in-law took the old slippers I had been wearing, squatted down thoughtfully and placed them at my feet.

I looked at the shoe cabinet that went from messy to neat, and then looked at my daughter-in-law's ponytail and apron at this time. The unusual expectation in my heart quietly dissipated.

Isn't this good? What am I looking forward to?

I blame myself in my heart, closed the door, and then bent down to change into slippers.

Hurry, go wash your hands and have a meal quickly.

As soon as I changed into slippers, my daughter-in-law snatched the bag from me and pushed me into the kitchen.

There was still a strong aroma floating in the kitchen. I washed my hands in front of the faucet of the vegetable sink, and then asked: What dish did you fry?So fragrant.

You will know after reading it, it must be what you like to eat.

After washing my hands, I was pushed to the living room by my daughter-in-law again.

There are no less than six or seven dishes on the dining table in the living room.With so many, can we finish eating?

If you can’t finish eating, just put it on. Hurry up, sit down.

well.

I sat at the table, looking at the dishes in front of me with all the colors and flavors, but the expression on my face became weird.

Fried beef with leeks, cumin lamb, and cold-smoked bitter chrysanthemum are indeed my favorite dishes.

But fried waist flowers, steamed oysters for vermicelli, turtle soup... I looked at the dishes in front of me that took a lot of time, but I felt a little strange.

My daughter-in-law was seen like this and her expression became a little twisted. She played with the chopsticks in her hand and said: Dad, you worked so hard a few days ago. I was afraid that you would be tired, so I thought about making some dishes for you to make up for.

I was a little amused and laughed, and pointed to the turtle soup that was boiled into milky white and said: You made this yourself?

Well, the turtle is a good thing for everyone to kill, so I got up in the morning and endured it.Dad, you taste it, it tastes so good.

I did not refuse the soup bowl handed over by my daughter-in-law. I took it and tasted it. The soup was rich and it was indeed a good soup.

But putting down the spoon, something else appeared in my heart.

Yueyue Ah, I have to explain some things to you.

What Ah, dad.

My daughter-in-law said while picking up the dishes for me.

I changed my mind and suddenly said: In two months, it will be your birthday, right?

My daughter-in-law was stunned, and seemed to not understand why I suddenly raised this topic, but nodded: It's Ah, it's almost done.

You will be 24 years old after your birthday.

When I heard my age topic, my daughter-in-law was a little unhappy and bit her chopsticks and said: Dad, why did you suddenly mention this?

I put down my chopsticks and continued: It's nothing, I just want to say, you are only 24 years old, and I don't have many years left.

Dad, what did you say!You are in such good health, so don't say such unlucky words.

My daughter-in-law was a little angry, but when I looked at her, I insisted on continuing the topic: Baby, you have to understand that Dad will definitely come to you.

dad!You still said!The daughter-in-law pouted and said unhappily: Don’t say such unlucky words anymore!

You see, dad's health seems to be pretty good now, but in fact, Ah, I'm old, I can't always be with you.

I was still expressing my feelings, but my daughter-in-law lowered her head and put the chopsticks on the table, looking a little lonely.

Yueyue?

Dad... Am I disappointed you?

I was so confused by this question.

disappointment?

I have never had this idea about my daughter-in-law. It would be better to say that on the contrary, she is my most proud daughter-in-law. Qiangzi's ability to marry her is always my most proud achievement.

But thinking about what happened recently… no, I was not disappointed.

If you say disappointment, it is for me.

I was disappointed that I ignored my daughter-in-law’s inner feelings in my early years and that I was unable to control my desires in my heart in the end.

How could I be disappointed with my daughter-in-law?

I looked at my daughter-in-law and said softly: Baby, I have never been disappointed in you. I just wanted to say that it is impossible for me to accompany you for the rest of my life.

Then let me accompany you!Let me accompany you through this life!

My daughter-in-law stood up from the chair and rushed to me and grabbed my hand.

I looked at her and tears were already appearing in her eyes, which made me feel very distressed.

No, can't I be with you...

I shook my head and denied: How could it not work? I wish you could be with me, you are my daughter-in-law.

But my daughter-in-law was not satisfied with my answer, and she looked dim: Can it be my daughter-in-law?

I don't know how to answer, so I can only use silence to draw a stop for this conversation.

Let's have a meal, if you don't hurry up, it will be cold.My daughter-in-law didn't want to get up and insisted on sticking to me.

OK, OK.

I comforted her and suddenly felt like I was returning to the déjà vu before she just came to marry. Then just sit next to me. A rare table of good food cannot be wasted.Come on, take the chopsticks and ask me to feed you Ah?

My daughter-in-law was finally willing to pick up the chopsticks, but I could tell that she was still very unwilling to accept it.

The meal ended up being extremely dull.

Although I praise my daughter-in-law's skills from time to time, she has no expression, just picking up food and picking up food for me as usual.

But I saw it all in my eyes.

After dinner, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

My daughter-in-law offered to go wash dishes, and even ignored my suggestion to help her.

I looked at her lonely back and felt a little uncomfortable.

The TV was on, but my daughter-in-law and I didn't mind paying attention to the content of the show.

After washing the dishes, my daughter-in-law cleaned the kitchen again, finally took off her apron and sat next to me. The sofa in the living room was very narrow, so my daughter-in-law could only sit close to me.

I didn't smell the fragrance she could smell on my daughter-in-law, but the slight smell of sweat and the smell of shampoo from my hair made me even more unable to handle myself.

Baby, it's almost 9 o'clock, you...

Dad, are you thinking about letting me go to bed early?The daughter-in-law watched the TV and said softly.

I was surprised by my daughter-in-law's change of mind, but I was not surprised, I had seen it a long time ago.

Staying up late is not good for your health.

What if I wait occasionally?And it's less than nine o'clock, why did you let me sleep so early?

My daughter-in-law’s fierce tone made me unable to say the next sentence.

Dad, do you really hate me?

My daughter-in-law didn't look at me, and she even felt a little away from me.

But the space on the sofa is so big that we were sitting close to each other, and we were deliberately hiding nothing between us.

I gently hugged my daughter-in-law and said: How could I hate you, silly girl.

My daughter-in-law continued in my arms: I know I might have gone too far before and said a lot of things that made you sad, but I... I just want to stay by your side Ah, I love you Ah, Dad...

I patted her back and comforted her crying daughter-in-law: I know, I know everything...

But I know in my heart that I may never have the chance to raise this topic again after today.

As the night gradually became deeper, the residents in this old community rarely had any nightlife. When the clock hand passed, almost all the lights outside went out.

Dad, I'm fine, let me go.My daughter-in-law called me a little hoarse.

I watched my daughter-in-law stand up and turned her back, preventing me from seeing her rubbing her eyes.

Dad, you have been busy for a day, go and take a shower first.

I responded, but suddenly remembered the scenes that happened in the hotel that day.

I don’t know what was driven by, so I opened my mouth and said: You wash it first.

My daughter-in-law seemed to have looked at me more, but before I could see it, she turned around again and simply responded: Oh.

I watched her walk into the bathroom with her changing clothes and towels, and watched the bathroom door close, but for some reason I felt a little expectation.

However, my expectation was finally dashed. My daughter-in-law quickly took a shower and changed into a simple pajamas, which was very different from the one she wore that day.

Looking at her hair loose and she seemed to be back in time, I felt a little surprised.

Seeing that I seemed a little dazed, my daughter-in-law couldn't help but call out: Dad?

Ah, nothing, after washing Ah, I will go and wash it too.I grabbed the bath towel and rushed into the still hot bathroom.

Dad, have you taken the clothes you changed?

My daughter-in-law's voice rang outside the door, and then I noticed that I was in a hurry and forgot such a small thing.

Before I could reply, the bathroom door was pushed open.

However, my daughter-in-law just pushed open a crack in the door and handed over my forgotten clothes from the crack.

I took the clothes and watched the door close quickly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Really...

What am I looking forward to?

Because I felt complicated, I just rushed over and wiped my body dry and walked out of the bathroom.

The lights in the living room were turned off by my daughter-in-law at some point, but the lights coming from my bedroom didn't feel dim.

I walked into the bedroom and watched my daughter-in-law sitting by the bed, tidying up the second pillow that seemed to have just taken out.

Yueyue, why don’t you go back to your room and go to bed...

Dad, what did you say?I don’t want to go back to my room to sleep. I always stay alone in the empty room, and I feel uncomfortable.

As the daughter-in-law said, putting down the pillow and looking up at me.

But here...

I only have a double bed in my bedroom, and I basically slept alone.

Although there is absolutely no problem with my daughter-in-law and I lie down, looking at the two pillows side by side, I dare not think about what happened next.

dad……

The daughter-in-law grabbed the corner of my clothes and said: I don’t know. I want that kind of thing, go to bed, dad.

I listened to my daughter-in-law and didn't know whether I should be happy or disappointed.

But I knew I could only agree: Well, then go to bed.

The light was turned off.

My daughter-in-law was lying in the back, and she did not snuggle up to me like before, and even kept a certain distance from me.

I lay on the bed, wondering if it was because I had just taken a shower, the fresh fragrance of shampoo on my daughter-in-law, which was different from perfume, became even stronger.

When I think of my daughter-in-law lying beside me, and because I have had that kind of relationship with her, my body cannot cool down.

No, I can't think of all these things, sleep.

But the sleepiness did not come as I wished. As time went by, I found that my breathing began to become heavy.

Could it be because of that bowl of turtle soup?I don't believe in this, but now my physical reactions have forced me to start to doubt.

dad?

The voice of my daughter-in-law suddenly came from beside me, and I couldn't help but hold my breath.

Can't you sleep?dad.

My daughter-in-law's voice continued from a close distance. She seemed to lean against me. I finally couldn't help but said: Ah, I can't sleep... That bowl of soup may be quite useful.

As soon as I finished speaking, I regretted saying something I shouldn't have said.

But the daughter-in-law did not say anything, she did not speak or make a sound.

But the almost zero-distance contact allowed me to feel the sound of my limb rubbing the bed sheets.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on my waist.

Daughter-in-law?

I felt my daughter-in-law's hand leaning down toward my waist, but she did not hold my weapon directly as explicitly as before. On the contrary, her movements stopped above my lower abdomen.

I said I won't want it tonight.

My daughter-in-law's voice had come to me at some point, almost touching my ears.

Dad, do you want it yourself?

The air solidifies for a moment, and then...
